Okay, sorry... "ONLY if they compile as root, OR remember to set PREFIX",
it will want to install /usr/local

I think it should DEFAULT to /usr/local/ _UNLESS_ they override it.
Otherwise, if they do this:

  $ make
  $ su
  # make install

as a normal person, who is used to configure scripts and other programs, =
would,
it will simply try to 'install' back into $PWD

D'OH!
